What would you buy if you thought you’d soon lose access to buying it?

Regardless of your read on current events or what you’re prepping for, I think this is an interesting question to consider. While the ideal answer is that we all have everything we need already, most of us don’t have unlimited funds and probably have things we’d hope to get (or get more of) before we would need them.

Before getting bogged down on the issue of why you may not be able to get something in the future, here are some examples: - Panic buying or low availability. - Price of the item expected to skyrocket. - Concern about the item no longer being sold. - Infrastructure issues in general or changes in relationships with countries where the item or its components are sourced.

What would you prioritize getting your hands on quickly if you became concerned that soon it would be very difficult or impossible to purchase?
